    Summary

    Will grabs the candy out of the glass display and sets it on the counter. “That’ll be $2.76.”

    The boy pulls out his wallet and hands him a five dollar bill. “I like your shirt,” he announces, and Will looks down to where he’s pointing. His work shirt? Plain yellow with Hawkins Theater embroidered on the top right? He’s being made fun of. He has to be. It’s some rich-boy jab at how he has to work minimum wage, surely. “It looks good on you.”

    A bunch of mini prequel/sequel things to ghb (They can be read either before or after the main fic, but not alone. It would make absolutely no sense)

    Summary

    Mike recalls the brief interaction he had this morning in the hallway for perhaps the hundredth time. Maybe his friends can help. Help with what exactly, Mike doesn’t know— but something has been bugging him and he needs to get to the bottom of it.

    “Hey, do you guys know that kid that wears all black? Chain belt? Eyeliner?”

    “The gay kid?” Dustin supplies.

    Oh, that’s right. Mike knew he had heard about him somewhere. He’s kind of famous around school. Well, him and his boyfriend. Even with it being 2006, they’re still the only openly gay people at the school.

    Mike nods. “Yeah, I guess. I ran into him this morning. Literally, like we collided.”

    ——

    Mike has a run-in with Will Byers, the school’s so-called “gay kid”. He takes it upon himself to befriend him, and quickly learns about Will’s relationship troubles with his boyfriend Matt. Along the way, Mike struggles with his identity, and Will struggles with his self-worth.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler lives with Will Byers.

    Their relationship is, technically, undefined.

    This is the story of how that happened—childhood promises, college, a first book, and the slow realization that his taste in people might be alarmingly specific.

    Also: his decision-making gets worse the closer Will is.

    He’s working on it.

     

    Or, more accurately, the other side of "It Starts with Jonathan Leaving". Because apparently Mike gets a POV too.

    You don’t need to have read the other fic to understand this one.
